Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina

Was I hallucinating, or was someone really holding a funeral for me?

Ye Tao was half asleep when he heard the clear sound of suona and wailing.

He remembered that he was driving at a bend in a mountain road and saw a large truck speeding from the opposite direction, and his car rushed off the cliff.

Is it possible that I will die young like this?

Ye Tao tried to open his eyes, but it felt like there was a lead ball hanging on his eyelids. After a long struggle, he finally opened his eyes.

The things that came into his sight made him feel extremely unfamiliar: the quaint carved bed, antique furniture, tall wooden pillars and beams, but all the gorgeous decorations were covered by white silk.

White silk was flying around the windows, and the lanterns under the eaves were also covered with white silk. Along with the sounds of suona and wailing that reached his ears, he was sure that the scene before him was definitely a funeral.

At this moment he felt a splitting headache, and all kinds of unfamiliar memory images flooded into his mind frantically. He was sure that these memories did not belong to him at all. Combined with the scene he had just seen, and the suona sounds and wailing sounds that continued to come to his ears, Ye Tao suspected that he had traveled through time.

Before Ye Tao could think carefully, his confused brain fell into coma again.

Indeed, Ye Tao really traveled through time.

The original owner of his current body was named Ye Changyan, who was born in the ninth year of Tianyuan in the Dasheng Dynasty. In the twenty-fifth year of Tianyuan, he passed the county examination and the prefectural examination. On August 12, he took part in the college examination in Yuzhou Prefecture. On his way back home, he encountered bandits, his property was robbed, and he was seriously injured and fell into a coma.

Ye Changyan was abandoned by bandits in a grove on the side of the road and was found by a woodcutter who was collecting firewood. He happened to meet Zhang Ergou and his wife from the village who were passing by to visit their parents' home. They helped find a ox cart and pulled Ye Changyan back to Shanglin Village.

Ye Changyan didn't know how long he had been lying in bed. Feeling extremely thirsty, he slowly opened his eyes and found that the white silk that covered the gorgeous decorations was gone. The white silk fluttering by the window was nowhere to be found, and the white silk pasted on the lantern was also gone.

Ye Changyan felt much better and more energetic. He saw the teapot in the distance and prepared to get up and drink some water.

Ye Changyan slowly stood up and was about to get out of bed when he felt something slipping from his waist. He reached out and grabbed something. When he took it out, he saw that it was a walnut-sized stone with ropes on both ends of the stone.

The stone is oval in shape and dark in color. If the rope is replaced with a watch strap, it will really look like the smart watch I wore in my previous life.

Ye Changyan stroked the stone with his fingers and found it very smooth.

At this moment, the place that Ye Changyan had just touched actually lit up. Ye Changyan was very surprised. It was really a smart watch?

At this moment, a group of memory scenes emerged in his mind. The original owner had finished the college entrance examination in Yuzhou City. When he came out of the examination room, he met a crazy old Taoist priest.

The old Taoist said that Ye Changyan would face a bloody disaster, then he carefully took out a black stone and asked the original owner to keep it carefully, saying that the stone could save his life. The old Taoist also said that they would meet again in the future.

Just when Ye Changyan was about to take a closer look at the smart watch, a clear female voice suddenly came.

"Brother! You're awake!"

Ye Changyan looked up and saw a little girl with short hair, about twelve or thirteen years old, staring at him in shock.

Ye Changyan quickly found the information of the little girl in front of him from his memory. Ye Changting was the original owner's younger sister and the second granddaughter of the Ye family. Everyone called her Erniu.

"Second girl."

Ye Changyan called out softly, and the little girl's eyes showed surprise. She quickly came over and looked him over carefully.

"Brother, you finally woke up."

As she spoke, the little girl threw herself on Ye Changyan and started crying. Ye Changyan reached out and held her arms. The little girl's eyes were like peaches just taken out of the water, watery and red.

Seeing the little girl in front of him crying sadly and aggrieved, he opened his mouth and asked.

"Erniu, what's going on? Isn't my brother awake?"

"Brother, grandpa passed away! Woo woo..."

It turned out that when he woke up, he saw all white mourning clothes, which was actually the funeral for his grandfather.

Although the original owner had never seen this old man, the grandfather occupied a very important position in the original owner's memory. The grandfather was a kind old man who loved the original owner very much. Because the original owner passed the examination for a student at the age of fourteen, the grandfather had great expectations for the original owner.

Upon hearing the news, Ye Changyan couldn't help but feel a little sad. Although he had never met this old man before, the old man's voice, appearance and smile were so vividly imprinted in his mind.

Before Ye Changyan could calm down a little, he heard his sister say something that shocked him even more.

"My parents are in the main hall. My grandmother and uncles want to kick us out of the house. My second aunt said I was a girl and kicked me out of the main hall."

When Ye Changyan heard this, he was stunned for a moment. It took him a while to react and then he asked.

"Erniu, what's going on?"

"My eldest aunt and my second aunt urged my grandmother to separate our family, wuwu..."

Erniu said while crying.

"They said that the little savings in the family were used to support the education of our two children, which was too expensive. We only had so much money, and we were about to arrange marriages for our eldest and second cousins. If things went on like this, no girl in the county town would be willing to marry into our family. My two cousins would never be interested in girls from rural farm families. So the two aunts urged my grandmother to kick our family out. Woo woo..."

"Come on, let's go take a look together."

Hearing his sister crying like this, Ye Changyan didn't know the specific reason for a moment, so he planned to go to the main hall to see what was going on.

Ye Changyan picked up the teapot beside the bed, poured a cup into the cup, drank it all in one gulp, then felt a little thirsty, so he poured another cup.

Then he stood up and walked out of the room, quietly putting the smart watch on his wrist.

Erniu took out a handkerchief, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, sobbed twice, and then followed Ye Changyan towards the main hall.

"Now that your father has been buried and the funeral arrangements have been completed, I, an old woman, no longer need you to visit him every morning and evening. You are weak and do not need you to serve you. Now that your father, the head of the family, is gone, I, an old woman, cannot be the head of the family. As the saying goes, a big tree has many branches. Let's divide this family today."

As soon as Ye Changyan walked to the side door of the main hall, he heard a strong female voice coming from the hall.

Ye Changyan stopped and stood behind the side door. Erniu, who was walking behind him, saw that her brother did not go into the main hall, so she also stood behind Ye Changyan carefully and looked into the main hall.
